The Cincinnati Bengals were playing well, then QB Joe Burrow got hurt for a long chunk of the 2025 NFL season. The Pittsburgh Steelers looked old on defense and like they were three seasons too late getting QB Aaron Rodgers, until Week 3\u2019s win renewed hope. The Baltimore Ravens gave away a game in Week 1, destroyed the Browns in Week 2 and then got beaten by a quality opponent that controlled both lines of scrimmage.<\/p>\n
Will the real AFC North please stand up?<\/p>\n
Week 4 could see a whole lot more crowded and cloudy division.<\/p>\n
By the time Week 4 finishes up, we could see three or four teams tied at the top of the AFC North, including the Browns, with just two victories. With (almost) a quarter of the season in the books at that point, the division would really be up for grabs (besides the Bengals who would shock everyone if they remained competitive) heading into the second quarter of the season.<\/p>\n
As we saw last week, even the second quarter isn\u2019t enough to know for sure the outcome but it could lead to some pretty interesting storylines around the AFC North.<\/p>\n
Given the four games the division has this week, what do you think the standings will look like after Week 3? Which team are you confident in winning this week? Losing?<\/p>\n
